How to become an OR nurse?

Published

Specializes in emergency, trauma, psychiatry.

Hello All,

I am a new RN, graduated in June, passed boards and got a job as a psych nurse. This is not something I had in mind but taking current economic situations and lack of open positions for new grads I took it just to get a foot in a hospital. But now I feel stuck, miss clinical experience, medical part of nursing, I have great satisfaction from dealing with psychiatric patients but somehow a problem with ethics of some of the staff (yelling, using physical force, laughing). This is not a place for me in a long run.

I would be grateful for any information about ways to the OR in NY,

thanx so much for help /:)

Apply to every operating room near you whether or not they have job postings. Also, apply to outpatient surgery centers.
